The Mystaran Almanac Team

The following page lists and describes the people who have played an important part in the
creation of the MYSTARAN ALMANACS. Of course, such a list is never complete as many
people have commented, sent in ideas, or just plain corrected us. Also, many ideas have been
taken from posts on the Mystaran Mailing List and the Mystaran Almanac Team just isn't sure
whose ideas they were in the first place. If someone thinks they see one of their ideas in one of the
Almanacs, it's quite possible. To those we've forgotten, we're sorry. And to those we haven't
thanked, mainly because we don't know who we should thank, we thank you now.

THE ELDERS

The "Elders," as they have jokingly come to call themselves, are the main organizers behind the
Almanac. They consist mostly of those who started the entire Mystaran Almanac Project, but
others have been initiated into their ranks as more people become necessary to keep such a large
project running smoothly (well, as smoothly as it gets, anyway).

As such, "Elder" simply means that they are in charge of a given area of Mystara. They are
presented in the order which they joined the ranks of the Elders.

HERVÉ MUSSEAU

Born: 26 February, 1973.

Place of Domicile: Paris, France.

Years of Role-Playing: About 15 years.

Role in the Almanac Team: When Michael first posted his AC 1014 draft, Hervé was the first to
give many comments and point out numerous flaws. This made him the second member to join the
Mystaran Almanac Team.

Hervé is the Elder in charge of the Alphatian Sea area, making sure no one working in that region
overlaps the plots of another writer. Hervé is also in charge of correcting typing errors, and
fulfills the long process of proof-reading the entire almanacs several times. He has also succeeded Michael in being in charge of the whole almanac (the "boss").

Favorite Mystaran Areas: Hervé enjoys working with the Alphatians, whether they're the nations
of the NACE or the Alphatians in the Hollow World doesn't matter to him. He also dabbles in
many areas of Mystara, and is renowned among the elders for his twisted plots.

Role in the Almanac Team: When Michael first posted his AC 1014 draft, Brizio gave comments
concerning the Elves of Alfheim and the shadow elves. To his surprise, many of his comments
wound up in the Mystaran Almanac AC 1014. From that point on, Brizio has continued to work for
the Mystaran Almanac Team.

Fabrizio is the Elder in charge of the Shadow Elves and the Alfheim Elves.

Favorite Mystaran Areas: Brizio enjoys anything elven, and has a particular interest in the fate of
the shadow elves, the race of elves unique to Mystara. Most events involving elves are the careful
work of Brizio.

Role in the Almanac Team: Another person who commented on Michael's draft, Andrew's main
concern was the lack of any detail concerning the goblinoids of Mystara in that timeline. Andrew
therefore took it upon himself to write a series of events for the goblinoids for AC 1014, which
was added to the final Mystaran Almanac AC 1014.

Now, Andrew is the Elder who watches over events in the Sea of Dawn and the Old World areas.

Favorite Mystaran Areas: If it's goblinoid, Andrew is probably behind it. Andrew also enjoys the
more "primitive" peoples of Mystara, such as the Atruaghins or the Ethengarians.

Role in the Almanac Team: Marco joined the Mystaran Almanac Team for the AC 1015 Almanac.
That's when he brought to us his idea for an elven crusade which would help better define the
areas of Wendar and Denagoth.

Since then, Marco has become the Northern Elder, in charge of the region of Norwold and has
begun the lengthy process of fully defining the scattered dominions of this realm.

Favorite Mystaran Areas: Wendar and anything north of it. He's enjoying his stay in Norwold.

"I'm currently working for the Net Almanac detailing Wendar, Denagoth, Norwold and something
in Davania. I'm interested in a Mystara-Spelljammer-Ravenloft crossover and I'm working in the
Mystaraspace project (to go where none has gone before..). I also like to convert novels and
movies into D&D adventures."

Role in the Almanac Team: Geoff first came to the attention of the Mystaran Almanac Team with
his suggestions for Kastellios and Davania. Seeing how that particular area was not being
developed to its full potential, Geoff was quickly initiated and named Elder of Davania (formerly the Jungle Coast).
He's been participating on the Almanac Team since the AC 1015 Almanac.

Favorite Mystaran Areas: If he could, Geoff would probably join the ranks of the Heldannic
Knights. He also enjoys the unexplored regions of Davania.

Although not "Elders," the following people do all the hard work. They come up with plots,
stories, monsters, and places to invade. They also do the background research into the world's
history and make sure that certain events aren't contradicting previously published events. They
tell us when our ideas don't make any sense and make sure we get rid of them. If it weren't for the
following people, we Elders might actually have to work to get our Almanacs done.

These guys are presented in Alphabetical order, as each are equally important to us.

ALEKSEI ANDRIEVSKI

Born: ?

Place of Domicile: ?

Years of Role-Playing: ?

Favorite Mystaran Areas: Aleksei is one of those guys who just has to go everywhere. He gives
his comments on just about every event. Good thing to, cause he usually knows what he's talking
about and it pays to listen to him.

Favorite Mystaran Areas: Aaron is one of the brave fellows who keeps Hervé in line in the
NACE area. If it weren't for him, all of Mystara would be part of the NACE. His favorite areas
are the underwater realms of Undersea and the new nation of Underocean.
